Here Is What

from Hayes by Signe Tollefsen

lyrics

I want to make love to you
So that the caravan will shake
And couples walking by will look and tut
But secretly think
“oooh, I wish we still did that”

I am on my hands and knees
Hiding from the smoke police
While Roger sings about bricks in the wall
“what wall” you ask
I say “you’ve got to be kidding me”

Here is what we’ll do today
Here is what we’ll do today
Now that everything has failed
And everyone has bailed on me
We’ll do what I say
What I say

I gotta be young, stay young or die young
Which is a great prospect and I just can’t wait
Meanwhile I gotta work hard, have children,
Buy a house, worry about the future
And protest against the rules

What are we gonna do
We should be older now
We gotta make it work
And I will show you how
Show you now

So really,
All I wanna do is make love to you
So that our rusty caravan will shake
And couples walking by will look and
Tuttuttut
But secretly think
“oooh, man, I wish we still did that
I wish we still did that
I wish we still did that”
